The new ERP solution will enable Loma Systems to automate tasks, which are currently processed manually and improve overall efficiency.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLoma Systems had already decided that it wanted to use a Microsoft Dynamics solution,\u201d explained Roger Fleury, director of Ardent Solutions. \u201cHowever, integrating the system by itself meant additional bespoke software was necessary to meet the company\u2019s needs. To overcome this issue, we suggested that they invested in the solution with the inclusion of the Annata package.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Annata feature is designed to help capital equipment manufacturers follow the progress of the order from start to finish. This was outlined as an important requirement from Loma Systems, as they wanted to clearly follow the configuring of the products through to invoicing and then support the equipment in the aftermarket.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>One of Loma Systems\u2019 biggest drivers for changing ERP software was the need to integrate it seamlessly with its current customer relationship management (CRM) system. Loma Systems previously obtained its CRM system from Ardent Solution\u2019s sister company and integrated business software specialist, CPiO.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen choosing the vendor, we wanted to partner with, it was important that the company demonstrated a clear understanding of our company and customers,\u201d explained Sean Hannan, Business Systems Manager at Loma Systems.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo other vendor introduced us to the Annata package before Ardent Solutions, which demonstrated that they had a clearer understanding of our requirements in comparison to other solution providers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRebuilding our systems based on Annata means that we are able to re-map our manufacturing processes, to improve efficiency across the business. The Sales and Service teams, for example, will have improved and integrated mobile access to the ERP solution, which will benefit both the Loma team and ultimately our customers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Loma Systems\u2019 ERP system was previously centrally managed from one location, serving data across multiple Loma sites.<\/p>\n<p>By moving its ERP system to the cloud, the company will have additional safety and resilience in place to protect their data and eliminate unexpected downtime.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Microsoft Dynamics 365 partner Ardent Solutions, is working with manufacturing company Loma Systems to implement a new ERP system.
